The Testimony of Two Nations: How the Book of Mormon Reads, and Rereads, the Bible
-
University of Illinois Press
-
"Narratives are also easy to connect to other narratives in ways that create connections between works. Christians call the Hebrew Bible 'The Old Testament' because the New Testament connected itself to many of its major narratives and converted them into symbolic prophecies of Christ. In this book I argue that the Book of Mormon does the same thing with the Christian Bible using many of the same tools. I argue that the Christian Bible—both the Old and New Testaments—provide a context in which the Book of Mormon can be interpreted: the canonical context, which includes the Bible, the Book of Mormon itself, and, depending on the branch of the Restoration, other writings and revelations that have been elevated to scriptural status. I focus on how the Book of Mormon connects itself to the Christian Bible to form a new canon and then uses that canonical relationship to reframe or reinterpret the biblical narrative. This canonical context, I argue, is a legitimate primary interpretive context for the Book of Mormon." [Author]
The author discusses parallel stories in the Bible and Book of Mormon such as the fall of Adam and Eve, Exodus narratives, visions and dreams, divided kingdoms, cursings, prophecy, Jesus Christ, and the last days.
